KETCHUP GRAVY FOR MEATLOAF RECIPES

Steps:

• preheat oven to 350F
• In a medium-sized skillet, heat one tbsp olive oil, and brown diced onions, about 7 minutes. When brown, add chopped garlic and cook for two more minutes. Add tomato paste, fresh thyme, and Worcestershire sauce
• Mix in the chicken broth and cook the mixture for 3-4 minutes or until reduced to half the liquid. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
• In a mixing bowl, add ground beef, eggs, and breadcrumbs
• When cooled, add tomato-onion mixture to the bowl
• Mix everything very well. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and form the meat mixture into a loaf. (you can use a loaf pan too)
• Bake the meatloaf for 45-50 minutes, or until fully cooked. Make brown gravy while meatloaf is baking. (I used Mccormick brown gravy mix)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• In a large bowl, combine ground beef, bread crumbs, chili sauce, egg, salt, and freshly ground black pepper; mix well. Shape into an 8x4 inch loaf pan.
• Place loaf pan on a rack in an oven-roasting pan. Bake for 1 hour, or until done. Cook until internal temperature measures 160 degrees F (70 degrees C); the meat should be well done, with no trace of pink. Remove from oven, and allow to rest for 10 minutes before serving.
• While the meatloaf is resting, prepare the gravy. In a medium saucepan, melt butter or margarine over medium heat. Add mushrooms and onions; cook and stir until tender. Add beef broth; simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Combine water and cornstarch in a small cup; stir into broth. Cook and stir for 1 minute, or until thickened.
